TL;DR: A growing body of evidence suggests the operation of life and life processes in comets as well in larger icy bodies in the solar system including Enceladus and possibly Pluto as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for Lattice Bands in Interstellar Grains
TL;DR: In this paper, it was proposed that the thermal radiation from a size distribution of grains heated to about 300° K could explain the excess infrared emission and absorption of radiation by interstellar grains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interstellar Dust and Diamonds
TL;DR: In this paper, the extinction curves for diamond particles of various radii were calculated from the Mie theory, and the extinction efficiency Qext was plotted as a function of 1/λ for the two particle radii, a = 0.05 micron and a=0.10 micron.
